Pink
Elephant Popcorn -- Very
pretty pink! Strawberry is our favorite
flavor!
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
4 tablespoons dry strawberry flavored gelatin
2 quarts popped popcorn
Directions:
Melt butter over low heat. Stir in marshmallows
until they are soft, but not
melted. Add flavored gelatin mix. Stir
until everything is a nice pink color
throughout. The gelatin may not dissolve
completely, but that's ok. Pour
evenly over popcorn and stir until popcorn
is evenly coated. Cool.
Enjoy!
Kettle Korn - A true classic!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup popcorn
1/4 cup sugar
Directions:
Heat oil in popper (or large soup pot).
Add popcorn and sugar. Pop as usual.
Remove immediately to avoid burning. If
you use white sugar, it will taste
like popcorn balls. If you use brown sugar,
it will taste like caramel corn.
To add color: add a few drops of food coloring
on the unmelted sugar when
ingredients are put in popper. Dot
drops around in 6 or 8 places. Don't
squirt in one spot or it will lump!
